Neil Young The Hollywood Reporter 10/13/2017
This fitfully engaging affair only really passes muster as a potential pilot for small-screen continuations. Go to Full Review
Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times 10/12/2017
Unfortunately, it spends little time on the ideas and debate that made the original film so captivating for audiences who discovered it. Go to Full Review
Víctor López G. Espinof 08/01/2019
Unnecessary sequel in which its post-credit sequence confirms it as a kind of bad joke. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

The Man From Earth: Holocene is a sequel that is quite enjoyable, but admittedly not as strong as the first classic film. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh Film Journal International 10/12/2017
It's hard not to wish The Man From Earth well, if only for being guided so firmly by its own star. Go to Full Review

Rick S May 6 If you loved the first movie, this is a need to see sequel. Explores the philosophy of religion from a unique perspective and addresses the impact of pollution and global warming. See more Elleana E May 5 Completely stupid plot. Acting horrible. College kids trying to unmask Jesus insert eye roll then just leaving him on the ground to bleed out while they take a call, again insert eye roll again. So many loop holes. Yea let’s tie him up till he tells me what I want to hear completely stupid yet again. See more Door S Jan 19 This was a terrible sequel. So limp and shallow it doesn't deserve the shadow of the initial film. The lack of closure, plot or resolution is disturbing. Kidnappers escape. Murderers go unaknowledged. It's just a bad movie, greenlit by a ghost in the machine who hopefully will never have that authority again. See more Arisa V Dec 20 It's good awful. Very unfortunate because the first movie was good. See more Cayden P 05/07/2024 This movie ruined the series for me. They essentially rewrote the original plot but worse, and made the guy who was supposed to be immortal, mortal. See more Nick K 11/07/2023 Not good, it was poor in everyway the original was good. It was badly written, and added nothing to the story. In fact it took away from the main character. I strongly recommend giving this a hard pass and sticking to the great original.
